Praise for The Board Member's Playbook "For me, the value in this book lies in its very concrete, step-by-step counsel to boards about how to capitalize on the idea of practice. The prescriptions Miriam and Bill so logically lay out are consistent with and built firmly on good theory, to be sure, and that is why the practical part is so, well-practical." -John Carver "The book is like having your own personal trainer by your side, pushing you to do your best while keeping you from hurting yourself or others. If you are serious and disciplined about moving from being an amateur to becoming professional and competent, the Playbook is indispensable." -Jim Weigel, chair, Adams County District 12 Schools, Colorado "See what happens when real life problems hit the Policy Governance board's agenda, and ponder the difference to traditional practice. I guarantee you will be amazed." -Caroline Oliver, chair, International Policy Governance Association "While few writers succeed even in demonstrating a coherent governing theory, these two writers have succeeded in giving their readers the best there is in theory and practice." -Jan Maas, Maas Governance, Harmelen, The Netherlands
